Mark your calendar! RIMH is excited to have a
new and better place this year for our rock and mineral auction as we have outgrown our previous space. This auction
is open to the general public and children are welcome. The auction will be held at the VFW post 2812
which is located at 1418 Plainfield Pike, Cranston, RI 02920. The annual auction will take place on
Saturday, April 18th and will start at 12 noon with viewing beginning at 11am.
There will be plenty of parking and more space for box lots for the silent auction. All kinds of great mineral and fossil
specimens will be auctioned off as well as gem jewelry, tools, books, and some absolutely beautiful glass display cases.
Details of the minerals and objects to be auctioned off will be listed in a later email and on line.

Now is a great time for everyone to check on those specimens, tools, book, and “stuff”
that one might want to donate or sell. Clean out that garage and cellar of all those specimens that you have had for
the last 20 years and let someone else “adopt” them. We are all willing to give them a new loving
home!
